Smile Hooray for Karen!

Hello Karen and to everyone else reading this post......
I just had to say to Karen.... you are a breath of fresh air. I appreciate your unconditional optimism and encouraging words. Even soon after your surgery when you were getting "bummed" about the slow start on weight loss, you were still always so supportive, warm and inspiring. I just wanted to give you a great big shout out and say THANK YOU for being there for everybody and for just being your wonderful self!

Now can I get a witness people!?


Not to say that nobody else is supportive because everyone here is wonderful with their wisdom and knowledge, I appreciate all of ya but Karen gives selfless encouraging, no matter what. She's my cheerleader. (And on her way to looking like one )Thanks Karen, I dont know how I could make it through this emotional rollercoaster with ya! Your the best!!

Much love and hugs~
Bridget

Karen is the BOMB!!! (Do the kids still use that word??) LOL

Karen,

Even when you didn't feel like talking, girl you were there for me. You never yelled at me for buggin you during times when you were busy or had better things to do. You never fail to make me laugh and don't care if I need to cry. Thanks for everything you do and for who you are. Your kids and husband are so lucky to have someone like you.. and so are we!!!!

Love ya girl!!!

Karen,
Where are you going? Did I miss something here? You are so kind and I enjoy reading your posts. I was hoping to eventually meet you. I already met a bunch of you and I have to say that you are all a blessing to me. I don't know if I would've made it without all of your support.

If you are leaving, I wish you all the best. You won't leave this wonderful site as long as you have the Internet...yeah.
